ABOUT


Sonia Levy is an artist filmmaker with a Berber-Polish background.
Her work, marked by site-specific and interdisciplinary inquiries, delves into the implications of Western expansionist and extractive logics, exploring how these forces manifest in the transformation and governance of hydrosocial worlds.
Her practice aims to probe the thresholds that have shaped and influenced the conditions necessary for life to flourish.
